The Scene
Considered by many to be the best restaurant in the state, Pierpont's lures locals and power brokers with fine continental cuisine and an impressive wine list. This downtown staple has a prime location in the luxurious Goodwin Hotel, known for elegant comfort and turn-of-the-century charm.

The Food
Many dishes offer more shine than substance, but you'll never have a bad meal here. Popular classics from the grill definitely deliver, like the outstanding New Zealand rack of lamb or green peppercorn-crusted salmon steak.
